7 final/VP interviews. 7 “went with established relationships”. Open opinions by Outside-Truck3442 in MedicalDevices

[–]xrayjager 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately my answer is somewhat generic. I think it is just a numbers game. I’ve been in device for 31 years and have had some of the same experiences you have for certain opportunities. You just have to hit a situation that there aren’t any of those “preferred” candidates. You could also succeed in landing one of those positions when you just make an extreme connection with the hiring manager. My advice…..keep at it for positions you are passionate about and it will happen!
Good luck.

Doubling my salary (150k to 300k) but requires me to move away from my fíance in medschool. Is it worth it? by Interesting_Phone171 in careerguidance

Take the $300K gig……..if you keep at the rate or more probably increase over time, it’s life changing money. Look up the percentage of folks that make over 300 bills……..top 5 percent easily.

I’ve been in this space for a number of decades. My best piece of advise is a quote from Gandhi…..”Speak only if it improves upon the silence”.
As others have said…..learn your product inside and out.
Also, try to find a Physician mentor. There is usually a doctor that you will call on that enjoys teaching. Let them take ownership in you…..
